Description

Are you a Global Cosmopolitan, a multilingual person who has lived, worked or studied in different cultures?

In a world where national boundaries have become permeable through the opportunities for international careers and personal travel, a new breed of individual has emerged. Being a Global Cosmopolitan can result in increasingly complex issues of personal identity. New and complicated questions such as 'Who am I?' and 'Where is my home?' are hidden under more easily discussed topics such as languages spoken, countries visited and passports obtained. Join us for an evening with Professor Linda Brimm, who will explain how to deal with identity issues and change.
